Winning one Super Bowl is an accomplishment within itself, but hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in back-to-back years is a feat few NFL teams have achieved.
The New England Patriots are the last team to win two consecutive Super Bowls, winning the title following the 2003 and 2004 seasons. A total of eight NFL franchises have won the big game in two straight seasons.
Patrick Mahomes is a two-time Super Bowl MVP and the Kansas City Chiefs have made it to the title game three times in the last four seasons. As he reported to training camp on Tuesday ahead of the 2023 season, Mahomes expressed his desire for the Cheifs to once again being the last team standing in February.”Everybody’s motivated by that,” Mahomes said Tuesday.
“You should be motivated to do it again. When you have that parade, when you go through the offseason that I’ve been through, you want to do it again,” Mahomes said.

On Wednesday, the Chiefs kickoff a three-day camp for quarterbacks and rookies. Full-squad practice is scheduled to begin over the weekend.
Mahomes added that he does not take the chance to compete for a Super Bowl lightly.
“You only get those opportunities by winning the Super Bowl. And so for us, we want to make sure that we can build up and try to win that Super Bowl again because that moment, that feeling is something that you just wanted to grab every single time that you get the opportunity to do it.”The Chiefs defeated the Eagles in February in a thrilling Super Bowl LVII. Three years ago, Kansas City dominated the San Francisco 49ers to win Super Bowl LIV. They advanced to Super Bowl LV the following year, but suffered a 31-9 loss to Tom Brady and the Buccaneers.
Despite experiencing a significant amount of success in recent season, Mahomes said he plans on doing what he can to keep the team motivated.
“This time I think I’m going to try to really push and motivate guys to continue to try to get better even though we’re winning football games,” Mahomes said. “Let’s not be satisfied with just winning [but also] finding ways to get better every single week.”
